The Ling family?
The crowd looked at the confident young man who stood up with a smile on his face. Everyone's faces were filled with awe.
"Everyone seems to be a little afraid of this man?"
Fang Qiu murmured.
"Not afraid of him, but afraid of the Ling family."
He Gaoming hurriedly explained, "He is a young master of the Ling family, one of the rare ancient martial arts aristocratic families in Wulin. His name is Ling Tianxiao. He is only 24 years old this year, and his strength has reached the fifth class. It is said that he will break through the sixth class soon. Looking at the whole Wulin, his talent is second to none."
"Oh?"
Fang Qiu nodded.
An ancient martial arts aristocratic family?
It was the first time he heard of it.
Did ancient martial arts really exist?
No one knew whether it was for Ling Tianxiao's sake or because the current auction price had completely exceeded the value of the Heaven Treasure Mei Leaf. After Ling Tianxiao's shout, no one raised the price.
Obviously.
This was a good thing for everyone.
Ling Tianxiao could successfully bid for the Heaven Treasure, and he also paid a sufficient price without taking advantage of others. Others felt that they would lose if they raised the price, and they could also give face to the Ling family.
Why not do this kind of thing?
"17 million, going once."
On the auction stage, the auctioneer in a white gauze robe shouted with a smile, "17 million, going twice."
"Is there anyone else to raise the price?"
Under the auction stage.
There was silence.
Everyone was waiting for the end of the auction with peace of mind.
"17 million …"
Seemingly seeing that no one was bidding anymore, the auctioneer shouted, picked up the small wooden hammer on the auction stage, and was ready to hit.
But just when he was organizing.
"18 million!"
Fang Qiu, who had not bid, finally raised his hand at the last second.
On the auction stage.
Hearing someone raise the price, the auctioneer immediately laughed, quickly put down the wooden hammer in his hand, pointed to the direction of Fang Qiu, and said, "This gentleman bids 18 million. Is there anyone else to raise the price?"
Under the stage.
There was an uproar.
Everyone stared at Fang Qiu.
"Who is this?"
"How dare he rob the Ling family's thing?"
"This Ling Tianxiao is not easy to deal with, and he has already shown his identity, but he still dares to rob. He is too stubborn, isn't he?"
…
Over there.
Ling Tianxiao, who was slightly thin and wore a suit with black curly hair, immediately frowned when he saw Fang Qiu.
"This chest platform?"
Staring at Fang Qiu, Ling Tian asked with a smile, "Are you not going to give me face?"
"Not really."
Fang Qiu shook his head gently and said, "Since this is an auction, everyone will respect you, but they won't respect the owner of this place. If I don't increase the price, the owner of this place will lose money. So I think it's better to compete fairly."
"Hmph!"
Ling Tian Xiao snorted and said, "19 million!"
Although the Ling Family was a wealthy family in the martial arts circle, they did not have so much money that they could spend it freely. Moreover, everyone in the Ling Family focused their energy on ancient martial arts cultivation. Naturally, the money they earned could not be compared to those large commercial enterprises.
For Ling Tianxiao.
Twenty million was his bottom line.
Therefore, when he shouted out 19 million, he stared at Fang Qiu coldly, hoping that Fang Qiu would stop. There was even a hint of threat in his eyes.
If he met someone else, maybe he could get this Mei Leaf for 17 million.
But unfortunately.
He met Fang Qiu!
"20 million!"
Fang Qiu raised his hand and shouted.
Hearing that.
Ling Tianxiao's face darkened.
After thinking for a while, when the auctioneer was about to close the deal with Fang Qiu, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "21 million!"
Finished the price.
Ling Tianxiao immediately said to Fang Qiu, "Brother, it's good to make friends with you. I really need this Mei Leaf."
"Sorry."
Fang Qiu shook his head and said, "I need it more urgently than you. Today, I must get it by any means."
After that.
"22 million!"
Fang Qiu raised his hand again and shouted.
This time.
The whole audience was in an uproar.
Everyone, looking at Fang Qiu and Ling Tianxiao, seemed to watch this battle as a play. Everyone's face faintly showed a look of expectation, looking forward to the two people to continue to fight.
After all, it was better to watch the fun!
Over there.
Ling Tianxiao looked at Fang Qiu with anger in his eyes!
He was the young master of the Ling Family!
During the auction, he had already persuaded Fang Qiu with kind words. He did not expect that Fang Qiu did not give him face at all, which made him very angry, very angry.
Now.
Fang Qiu's price had completely exceeded his expectations.
Even if he wanted to increase the price, he did not have enough money.
"Humph!"
Full of anger, Ling Tianxiao snorted angrily, sat down, and no longer increased the price.
Seeing that.
The whole audience began to talk about it.
"He doesn't want to fight?"
"It's rare that the young master of the Ling Family actually lost to a nobody."
"Yes, I didn't expect that there was such a hothead who dared to challenge the Ling Family."
"I heard that Ling Tianxiao is the most valued person in the Ling Family and also the favorite of Master Ling. I think the purpose of him wanting this Mei Leaf should be to break through the sixth class. If this matter is spread, the person who snatched the Mei Leaf, I am afraid that he will be in big trouble."
"That's right. Although the Ling Clan has always been entrenched in Gan Province, their influence isn't just limited to Gan Province."
…
In the whisper of everyone.
The auctioneer had knocked the wooden hammer three times.
"Congratulations."
The auctioneer looked at Fang Qiu and said with a smile, "The finale of this auction, the Heaven Treasure Mei Leaf, was finally sold at the price of 22 million. Please go to the side hall to trade."
At this time.
"Wait."
Just as the auctioneer was about to step down, Fang Qiu suddenly stood up.
Everyone turned to look at Fang Qiu in confusion.
"I don't have enough money."
Fang Qiu said.
As soon as he said that.
In an instant, the whole auction house was in an uproar.
"What's going on?"
"Oh my God, what a good show."
"No way, he is so good at making trouble. He was so straightforward when he bid just now, but now he says he has no money?"
"What price can he bid if he has no money?"
"Two thousand and two hundred is not a small number."
"This guy is really daring. He participated in the auction and said he has no money?"
"Is this guy looking for death?"
"It's the first time I see someone doing all these things in the auction house. Isn't he playing with the auction house?"
The whole audience was talking about it.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
No one would have thought that the auction would end up with something like this.
Not only the people who participated in the auction.
Even the host of the auction was furious.
On the auction stage.
The auctioneer in a white gauze robe was also confused.
What's going on?
No money?
She was dumbfounded.
She was just an auctioneer. She didn't know what to do.
Backstage of the auction.
"Clap!"
A middle-aged man slammed the table and scolded angrily, "Are you playing with us? You are looking for death! "
…
Under the auction stage. Compared to everyone's shock.
Ling Tianxiao, who had been suppressed by Fang Qiu in the auction, immediately sneered and sneered after hearing Fang Qiu's words.
"Hey hey …"
Staring at Fang Qiu with disdain and contempt, Ling Tianxiao sneered, "I was wondering who dared to compete with me. It turns out that you are a poor guy!"
Hearing that.
Many people in the audience laughed.
They really liked to watch this kind of thing.
Anyway, no matter how things developed, it would have nothing to do with them. They wanted to see who dared to look down on the Ling Family and tease the host of the auction like this.
Just at this moment.
Footsteps suddenly came from the auction stage.
Everyone turned to look.
They saw that.
A middle-aged man and an old man in a blue robe walked out from backstage and stood on the auction stage.
Seeing these two people.
The auctioneer quickly stepped aside.
"Are they from the host?"
"That middle-aged man is the owner of this garden. His name is Xuan Yiqing. The one next to him is his butler, the manager of the whole garden."
"There will be a good show. Even Xuan Yiqing showed up. Let's see what this guy will do."
"I heard that Xuan Yiqing invited a super expert to hold the auction."
"I heard that too. I'm afraid that kid is finished today."
"He deserves it."
…
Just when everyone was discussing crazily.
Fang Qiu also looked up at the two people on the auction stage.
He saw that.
Xuan Yiqing was wearing a simple white martial arts suit. He was neither fat nor thin. With a square face, he looked particularly dignified.
Beside him, the old man had a kind face. He looked at Fang Qiu with a hint of pity in his eyes.
Fang Qiu could see that.
This old man was just an ordinary person without any martial arts.
But that eighth-class super expert with one meridian was still sitting in the backstage.
While Fang Qiu looked at the two, they also looked at Fang Qiu.
Just when he was about to speak.
"Pitter-patter …"
A series of footsteps came.
A person ran up from the backstage of the auction stage and whispered in Xuan Yiqing's ear.
"So it's the eldest young master of Xiangxi."
Xuan Yiqing cupped his hands to Fang Qiu and said, "I wonder if you can show your face. As long as you are the eldest young master, I will not make things difficult for you."
Everyone heard that.
The eldest young master of Xiangxi?
That was a big family. No wonder he could sit in the third row.
But this was not right.
Would the eldest young master of Xiangxi worry about more than 20 million?
Obviously not!
Not to mention how rich the eldest young master's family was.
Even the eldest young master himself could easily squander more than twenty million yuan!
Since he was the eldest young master, how could he end up like this?
However.
In everyone's surprised voice, Fang Qiu shook his head very straightforwardly and said, "I'm not the eldest son. My friend and I got the invitation cards by ourselves. Don't involve others in today's matter."
As soon as he said that.
Everyone present was shocked.
Who would have thought that the eldest young master's invitation would be snatched?
It was fine if it was snatched.
But he had no money.
Why did he snatch the invitation if he had no money?
He was purely here to stir up trouble!
"Since you are so frank, then I will be frank. How do you think we should solve today's matter?"
Xuan Yiqing asked.
"I have something and I don't know how much I can bid."
